EY Canada makes leading investment in Quantum Computing

EY Canada today announced the expansion of its quantum computing capabilities to help clients solve increasingly complex business challenges in areas of optimization, fraud detection and large-scale risk management. The investment in an on-site quantum computer further enables the processing of highly sensitive workloads within Canadian borders, helping organizations meet growing security, privacy and regulatory requirements.

Moving from experimentation to real-world application

EY is continuing its Client Zero approach, developing and testing quantum-enabled solutions within its own environment to help move visionary ideas toward practical use for clients. Owning the system in-house helps organizations meet stringent regulatory, privacy and industry requirements that cloud-based alternatives cannot always address.

The new capability provides dedicated access and greater control over the development of new applications, including where data resides, how it is managed and who can access it. This includes enhancing the testing, refinement and validation of quantum-enabled solutions in areas such as financial optimization, advanced fraud detection, data protection and large-scale system planning. These applications span financial services, energy, supply chain and government, where organizations increasingly need to balance operational complexity with data sovereignty, privacy and regulatory requirements.

This investment builds on EY’s recent quantum patent and strengthens the ability to help clients identify where quantum can deliver measurable value while advancing Canada’s position in the global quantum tech ecosystem through local innovation.

Driving global innovation forward

The new quantum capability is part of EY’s global investment of more than US$3 billion in AI and next-generation technologies, helping clients move beyond experimentation to unlock new opportunities in forecasting, optimization, decision intelligence and risk management. The investment also aligns with ey.ai The Reimagination Engine, EY’s AI-led technology system designed to help organizations transform with confidence.
